These are Original Radio Scripts used on the Abbott And Costello Radio Program. For their age, the scripts are in really good condition. The script dated March 29, 1945 is an incomplete script it comes with only six pages. The other two scripts are complete.
Their Radio Program was produced live at NBC Studios inside studio "A". The Andrew Sisters were their Guest Stars on the April 26th, program. The April 19th script belonged to cast member Lou Marcelle, his name is hand written on the front of the script. Mel Blanc was one of the regular cast members and appeared on all three episodes.
These three Original radio scripts would make a Great addition to any Abbott & Costello collection.
Abbott and Costello debuted on radio on Kate Smith's program i
n 1938. They continued performing on it until the summer of 1940.
Their first program of their own was a summer replacement for The Fred Allen Show
in 1940. After a hiatus of two years, the show returned as a regular network program in the fall of 1942 and ran through the spring of 1949.

All of the scripts that I own are original not reproductions or fakes. Some people, new to collecting, are confused about the word "Original." In terms of movie scripts, the term "Original" means that it was used by the production company in the early stages of production or that it was given to the cast and crew members during filming, and used at the time of production. Each film project has a different total number of scripts that are issued. The old era film is you also have to figure in the fact that a lot of the original movie scripts have been thrown out or destroyed over time.
An original movie script has a lot of character in the item itself and every one of them is different in some way or another. For example, all finished scripts begin as a First Draft Screenplay then through time the screenplay is edited or Revised into the Final Version of the Shooting Script. Any changes made to the screenplay during production are known as revisions. These revision pages are usually a different color like blue or pink and inserted into the Final Scripts that were issued to the cast and crew. Sometimes new writers are even brought in by the producers during the early stages for whatever reason to revise and make changes to the original script or come in with their own story ideas. Because of this a First Draft Screenplay can even go through multiple title changes on its way to becoming a Final Script. There is usually only one script given to each cast or crewmember during production. Some crew and cast will make changes or add notes to their script copies as well. All Final Scripts will have what’s called a “FILE”OR “VAULT” copy that will be kept by the studio. These File or Vault copies generally are not annotated and are usually un-marked. All these changes or revisions make original movie scripts very desirable because of how unique they are at various stages in the writing/editing/production process.
